big knitting north

Big Knitting is a rather unorthodox approach to a traditional craft which uses fabulous high quality 2.5cm wide, woven wool waste (so it’s all recycled) and bigger (much bigger) than average knitting needles/crochet hooks. Put the two together and what do you get? Floor pouffes in 5 hours, rugs in 4 and cushions in 2.  And what else? A whole lot of satisfaction & confidence into the bargain. Everything can be supplied in kit form, with 25mm needles or hook, a pattern and your choice of wool. Or you can just buy what you want and experiment yourself. 
 
Sue Boyd is the Big Knitting North co-ordinator and she can be found selling supplies at local wool festivals, running “pop up” shops in local craft shops, hosting “have a go” sessions for community groups and doing kids (and big kids!!) parties.  So if you would like Su to run something in your home, community centre, the local pub your craft shop/cafe ...…wherever you want to knit..... just get in touch!   Su says “This is knitting and crochet for the impatient!! It's fun, fast and definitely different. It is knitting, but not as you know it!!”
